Setup and Preparation
- Printer Compatibility: Ensure your printer is an inkjet model. This paper is not designed for laser printers.
- Loading the Paper: Identify the printable side, which has a matte, chalky texture. Load the paper into your printer tray with the printable side facing the correct direction for your printer's feeding mechanism.
- Printer Settings: For optimal print quality, select a "photo paper" or "glossy paper" setting in your printer's preferences. This often results in higher ink saturation and better color vibrancy.

Operating Instructions
1. Printing

- Load the AgoDeo vinyl sticker paper into your inkjet printer, ensuring the matte side is correctly oriented for printing.
- Print your design. Allow the printed sheet to dry for a few minutes before handling to prevent smudging.

2. Cutting
- Once the ink is completely dry, cut out your stickers. This can be done manually with scissors or a craft knife, or using a compatible cutting machine (e.g., Cricut, Silhouette).
- If using a cutting machine, refer to your machine's specific instructions for cutting vinyl or sticker paper. Perform a test cut if unsure about settings.

Troubleshooting
- Issue: Ink Smudging or Smearing
- Solution: Ensure you are printing on the matte, chalky side of the paper. Allow sufficient drying time (several minutes) after printing before touching or cutting the stickers. Verify your printer settings are set to "photo paper" or a similar high-quality setting to optimize ink absorption.
- Issue: Paper Jamming in Printer
- Solution: Ensure the paper is loaded correctly and not bent or creased. Check your printer's paper tray for any obstructions. This paper is designed for smooth feeding, but printer-specific issues can occur.
- Issue: Stickers Not Adhering Well
- Solution: Ensure the surface where the sticker is applied is clean, dry, and smooth. Rough or dirty surfaces can impair adhesion. Press firmly on the sticker from the center outwards to ensure full contact.
- Issue: Colors Appear Dull or Washed Out
- Solution: Adjust your printer settings to a higher quality print mode, such as "photo paper" or "best quality." Ensure your printer's ink cartridges are not low and are functioning correctly.
